"In South LA, the items at Everytable will cost about $4 each. But in downtown LA, where residents earn more, the same food will cost twice as much."

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Really hope this works out! It sounds like a great idea that should inspire other restaurants.
-
garv We do that in Bombay , design the menu & the pricing based on the locality . Rent, of course also helps determine pricing !

BethIsGreen I wonder if this will catch on. Great concept.
Finally have proper internet again. Mango coconut shakes with fruit juice leftovers. Recipe on my blog. Flowers from grandma's garden. 🌸☺️

SuzanneM This is beautiful!
Keep seeing these beautiful squash blossoms in the Italian markets!
What's the best way to prepare them?
-
sugardetoxme Flash fry and stuff em with ricotta and savory chives
-
gingerandchorizo Lucky you!! I will stuff them with ricotta and anchovies and lightly fry them with batter
-
garv Goat cheese & toasted cashews makes a great stuffing. Although fried blossoms is a safe bet , light searing or a light roast works well too.
